How to support CanTeen
Youth Cancer Service
We rely on the generosity of the community to ensure rangatahi never have to face cancer alone.
No matter how you choose to support Canteen, you will be providing life-changing support to rangatahi impacted by cancer across Aotearoa.
Regular giving
You can help rangatahi overcome the immense challenges of cancer in so many ways, from making a monthly donation to partnering with us as an organisation. You can also support us as a philanthropist or by leaving a gift in your Will.
Our bandannas
You can buy your favourite bandanna all year round through our online shop. One of the fun ways we fundraise for rangatahi impacted by cancer is through our iconic Bandanna Day campaign!
Fundraising
Join our community of fundraisers supporting rangatahi through a variety of fundraising events! You can choose your own challenge (like shaving your head), challenge yourself to walk, run, or cycle at events across Aotearoa, or fundraise for a Canteen event, like Bandanna Day.
How your gift helps
Your gift enables Canteen to be there for rangatahi with whatever support they need when cancer crashes into their life. Rangatahi affected by cancer experience higher distress levels compared to their peers and a personal or familial cancer diagnosis can cause considerable psychosocial impact. After just six months of support from Canteen, more than three quarters of rangatahi that accessed psychosocial support reported improvements in their mental health and overall wellbeing.
Major gifts
Supporting rangatahi impacted by cancer to build resilience that will last a lifetime is an incredible gift. Linking your passion to help with critical areas of need can make all the difference.
Gifts in Wills
A gift to Canteen in your Will is a life-changing legacy for the future of rangatahi impacted by cancer.
